A native of the Bahamas, there's a unique path to the Dallas Cowboys' roster than Denzel Daxon will take, but the pressure remains on him to challenge at nose tackle in training camp.

The Cowboys have played many young players in the first six games, many of which out of necessity. Mike McCarthy is trusting the process of player development. 

As @spags52 writes, the Cowboys knew on Friday their defense would be depleted, so they needed a strong showing from Dak Prescott and the offense. They didn't get it.

Fresh off the best rushing performance of the season, the Cowboys couldn't find their footing against the Lions, rushing for just 53 yards.
